so .. went to the movie theatre tonight and instead of the greasy popcorn I opted for the Beriyo Berrilicious Smoothie at TCBY.
I found out that an untopped large popcorn at the movie theatres is a whooping 1120 calories with 530mg of sodium. The average person is suppose to eat a little under 2000 calories a day .. so one trip to the movies is over half of your daily calorie intake. On top of that .. is the added butter .. because really who gets movie popcorn without the butter .. .that's another 320 calories with 20g of saturated fat. When you put it like that it just sounds nasty!
I was very pleased with my smoothie which had 260 calories, 1.5g of fat and 4 g of fibre. The real berries mixed together with non-fat yogurt in a large cup which was equivalent size to a large theatre pop made the smoothie filling and satisfying. Proud of the choice I made.
Update on the couch to 5k .. went to the gym again today, however was very sore in the calves. I still tried a bit of the treadmill but then opted for the elliptical which was not as hard on my legs. Nonetheless it was exercise and I still felt great afterwards!
